There was a bad car accident in Boynton were the driver died. People were so supportive of the family of the person who passed. My community is so nice.
I loved my neighborhood minus the violence it has the today the kids are different but there’s always a handful that comes and sit and talk to me. They are sweethearts. Then the others won’t even help themselves.
